good stand speakers with good low end

"I always thought I would get better bang for the buck with stand mound speakers vs lower end floor standing units."

Not really - remember that you have to figure in the cost of the stands, and good stands cost at least $200 minimum. Judge by the sound, not the design.

Maybe a used pair of Nola Boxers...

I switched from monitors to a pair of Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. I never heard the $3K break before, but I guess that's about right, except for only a few models - one being the Ohms.

If you have the room, I suppose a pair of MMG's and a sub could also do the job as well as a good pair of monitors...

Unfortunately, In a condo, people living below us, a sub is not possible.

People,
Bass is the correct spelling. Bass is what you hear, "base" is where you tag up, or slide into, or have on the bottom of something. Look it up...
